EXTRA US SHOWS

May 19, 2015

I thought it might be helpful to post all the extra shows I’m doing, to separate them from the Courtney Barnett shows with which they are intertwined. These are all just me solo with my trusty little guitar. Hopefully more will be added. Please spread the word!

COURTNEY BARNETT US TOUR

May 11, 2015

You’ll find me opening on the dates that’s aren’t asterisked or festivals. As many of the shows are already sold out, I’ll be playing some of my own intimate ones here and there. Keep your eye on the tour dates page.

NEW CLIP FOR ‘CHATTANOOGA SHOOT SHOOT’

April 30, 2015

My new music video! Once again made pretty much entirely by my usual suspect Natalie van den Dungen (what a talented legend). She’s been wanting to make a literal clip for one of my songs for ages. This one is so much so it’s like a documentary. The guy playing me spent 6 months following me around to get into character. It’s like looking in a mirror.

PRE-ORDER PRIZES

January 16, 2015

We’re offering a number of prizes for anyone who orders the new album ‘Where Did You Come From?’ on either CD or LP before the release date on Friday March 6th, to be drawn a few days before hand. This includes international buyers as well. Details as follows:

AUSTRALIAN PRE-ORDERS

FIRST PRIZE – LIVE CONCERT ANYWHERE IN AUSTRALIAOne winner will be drawn out to receive a free solo show IN YOUR OWN HOME for you and your family and friends (hopefully not just you, that would be creepy), to be arranged sometime in 2015. Hopefully we could tie it in to the March/April tour? If you live in Tennant Creek or somewhere like that it might be tricky, but then it’s more of an adventure for me! You might have to pick me up from the bus station.

Details of the actual performance can be ironed out between myself and the winner when the time comes.

SECOND PRIZE – SIGNED AND PERSONALIZED TEST PRESSINGOne winner will receive the double-LP test pressing with my signature, and whatever message or picture you want scrawled across it. Maybe you want it dedicated to a friend or loved one? There are only two of these in existence.

OTHER PRIZES – SIGNED PHOTO PRINTSI took many photos on my trusty OM01 Olympus during my travels through the US for the making of this album. Many of them will be reprinted in the booklet which comes with it. We’ll draw 20 people out of the hat to receive an 8 x 10 print of your choice from the collection. Signed also.

INTERNATIONAL PRE-ORDERS

FIRST PRIZE – SKYPE CONCERTObviously lamer than getting a proper concert in your home, this is the next best alternative. Skype is awkward at the best of times. Of course if the winner lives somewhere in the world I think I’ll be going this year I’d much rather come and do this live. But obviously if you live in Greenland (and yes, we’ve had orders from there before) it would be hard to get there… but AMAZING!

SIGNED AND PERSONALIZED TEST PRESSINGSame as above. You’ll be mailed the second test pressing, signed etc.

OTHER PRIZES – SIGNED PHOTO PRINTSWe’ll draw 10 people out of the hat to receive an 8 x 10 print of your choice from the album booklet collection to be sent straight to you.

NEW ALBUM INFO

January 13, 2015

The brand new LP Where Did You Come From? will be released physically in Australia and USA (through Yep Roc Records) on Friday the 6th March this year, and on iTunes worldwide.

This is the first time an album of mine has been released on vinyl. Not only that, but it wouldn’t all fit on a single LP so we had to make it a double. Both the CD and the LP will come with a 36-page booklet filled with all the lyrics plus photos I took throughout the journey on my battered old camera, and each of these will also both be available as a Special Edition version which will come with a live CD of a show I played supporting Billy Bragg, way back when I began in 2000.

The CD special edition will be a very limited run, and the LP will be also hand numbered to 300. You can pre-order the album through my label Flippin Yeah to ensure you get your copy delivered to your door around a week before the official release date.
